Making a BIG Hydraulic Cylinder Rod & Eye | Part 1

This video is part 1 of a job we did to make a new BIG hydraulic rod and eye for a Hitachi EX1200-6 Excavator bucket cylinder. The rod has a lot of scratches and the eye is completely torn off the rod and has fatigue so we are making a whole new cylinder rod and eye. This shows the step by step process to make the eye including machining, milling, drilling, facing & boring. We start with a 200mm chunk of steel plate and turn it into the hydraulic cylinder rod eye ready to be fit and welded on to the new rod that we make in Part 2!
** WATCH NEXT** Part 2: • Making a BIG Hydraulic...
In this video we are using:
- HMP-150T Hydraulic press
- TM-26120G Centre Lathe
- BM-63VE Milling machine
- Everising H-360HA horizontal bandsaw

  • I was a well traveled Mechanical Engineer going around the world repairing commercial gearboxes, mostly newspaper printing, mining, large vehicles etc. My neck broke and my fate was sealed so I was medically retired. Your videos allow me to experience what I have missed most in the world, my job. Thank you.

    • You know I tell people that since I can't work anymore myself because of medical issues, and I don't know about where you're from. But these folks think that I'm not right in my head for missing my work, personally I think they're not right in their's for thinking life is so grand when you can't work, and have to sit around bored outta your head with no real purpose in your life anymore. Glad to see I'm not alone in that sentiment, and I understand exactly how you feel. Btw, dam good work you do young man, your pop, and your grandfathers should be dam proud of the way you turned out. Yes Sir dam proud of you

    • @@timothymilam732 I can relate to your situation. I'm in radio broadcast electronics and in 2000 a ladder slipped with me on it and I crushed L1&2 in my back damaging my spinal cord. Fortunately I was in an ambulance in 10 minutes and operated on the next day by a trauma team of very competent surgeons and given a second chance. Everything is not right but with physio and care I returned to work for another 10 years before I was retired. I opened my own business doing contract engineering and had more work than I wanted until covid19 came along. Now it's emergency only and I could be bored out of my mind if I let it. Instead I've returned to my hobby of building a model traction engine that I started 40+ years ago. It'll keep my mind and hands busy when I'm not on the road. Keep the right attitude and take care of yourself. Who cares what others think. Keep standing. Covid19 doesn't like gravity. My theory anyway. Ron in Canada's banana belt.

I figured all that would do was push it out of the chuck. Then you welded them in and I saw the method of using the corner to actually drag it into the chuck. Very clever idea. I'll store that one away for reference.

  • Very nicely done including the radius. That radius is not just eye candy, it tries to prevent pinpoint stresses from building up on the surface. For it to operate as intended, the finish and the transitions around that radius should be fairly smooth. I probably would have done the last finish for the round part using the button tool just to get that radius as smooth as possible.

  • Kurtis, I love watching all kinds of welding/machining channels. And not just the big stuff, even the smaller scale machine channels as well. One guy I recently found was Heritage Machining. The guy works as a 3d CAD operator during the day and his machine shop he inherited from his grandfather. He built a shop inside a pole barn (aka large shed) like whay youhave in Australia, except the condition of the shed/pole barn was less than ideal to use as it sat.

  • To Karen… your video shots are outstanding. I don’t know if you’ve taken classes on this or if it is instinctual (I’ll bet the latter) but you place the camera in the right place at the right time. During the facing of the part, you had the camera perfect for those rainbow rays coming off the the oil on the face of the part. There are DPs that would DIE for a shot like this! You’re editing is excellent but more important, you know your audience and their threshold of watching real-time and when to get creative (slo-mo or time lapse) with just the right music track. I’ve worked with videographers in the past that this would go right over their heads. Kudos. [from a recently retired tech company instructional manager]
